Annual meeting?
I am also very much in favour of a meeting of vertical roller skaters. What fun that would be! Hot LaWa is a possibility since we explicitly invite roller skaters to participate (we had to put Daniel with the inliners because a starter group of one wouldn't have made muich sense). Probably the Green Ramp Jam will take place again next year. Roller skaters are welcome there, too.

Indoor spots have become very rare. The skate factory in Essen is still there. I haven't been there but it must be a great place.


: Salve!
: Maybe we can choose a weekend for the next year to celebrate a vert rollerskating meeting. I know that deciding "when and where" are really two problems. As I live in Spain, I think the better momment to do that would be within the first 15 days of august (due to the summer holiday). The place would also be a problem. For the european rollerskaters, maybe an Indoor skatepark in Germay, Switzerland or France would be nice.

: It's only an idea. The fact is that I'm sick of rollerskating alone. The Hot La Wa contest is a good excuse, but I think that most of us are still working in June. The possibility of a rainy contest is another thing that scares me in an eventual trip.

Yes, yes...
Last month, I got to session with great rollerskaters in Los Angeles. It has been 15+ years since I had the pleasure to skate with others like me. All together we were 5, the largest gathering ever! It's fun to see other styles and tricks, since every rollerskater does his thing differently and interesting to see what setups we choose to ride, it's just fun.
When?: Given so much advance, we should be able to plan a trip. We can suggest preferred dates and take a vote. For me coming from NYC, I would stay a week.
Where?: Indoor skatepark is the safest bet. If the weather is good, we can visit outdoor parks, too.
LET'S DO IT, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

 Hi!
Being selfish, I must say both dates (Hot La Wa and Karlsruhe) are bad for me. The thing is that the trip from Spain to Germany takes time (If I go by car or by Interrail) or time and money (if I go by plane). My ideal thought is a date in the middle of august so I can do a little road trip through Europe. Germany, Switzerland, Lyon (France) or North Italy (Zattoni's Skaterpark and new huge vert ramp)and maybe Holland are on my mind. (I hope I'll have two or three holiday weeks on 2004, so I can do the trip).
Appart from the excelent indoor skatepark of Lyon, I donīt know any other park.
Anyway, if there's no meeting, I hope I'll go through your land.

I would be interested in 1-2 weeks of tripping through europe to skate stuff, so keep me in mind.
